10-Year-Old Travelled 50 Countries, Never Missed Single Day At School

Aditi Tripathi, ten years old, from London, has already travelled to 50 countries with her parents. Surprisingly, she hasn’t missed a day at her school. Aditi Tripathi resided in Greenwich, southeast London, and travelled to 50 countries. Her parents Deepak and Avilasha wanted their daughter to learn about different cultures, people, and food. They wanted her to be well-travelled. They spend £20k every year on their travel expenditure.

10-Year-Old Travelled 50 Countries

Tripathi started travelling at the age of three when she was in Nursery and used to go to school for two and a half days per week. Now when she is grown up, they pick her up straight from school on Friday and return on Sunday at late night. Sometimes they drop her off at school right away after landing on Monday morning. Her father says that she gets pretty excited and curious when it comes to travelling. She was amazed to see different cultures like Nepal, India, and Thailand. Before Covid, they were able to travel to 12 locations in a single year. Their daughter has now visited almost all the European and Asian countries including Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore. The first country she travelled to was Germany and Austria, and then within a month, she travelled to Italy. 

How do her parents manage it?

The family saves money throughout the year by forgoing takeaway and dining out, as well as by not having a car and commuting with public transport. To save money on childcare for Aditi's sister Advita, 2, her parents both work from home. To avoid missing school, They choose vacation days, bank holidays, and inset days to go to various nations.

When the young girl was asked which was her favourite country, she said that she did not have a specific favourite country or place but if she had to choose it would be Nepal, Georgia, and Armenia. She also added that travelling has helped her with social skills.
